New Eligibility Scenario

Jody and his wife Hazel, and their school-age son Christopher (16) move on May 15, 2021, from Eagle, Idaho, to Boise, Idaho, to work in the potato fields. Jody and his wife obtain a job a month later packing potatoes. After five months on October 10, 2021 they all move to Wolf Point, Montana. A week after they arrived, Jody begins working harvesting sugar beets. On February 25, 2022, Jody and his wife get in a car accident. Neither one of them can work, so their son Christopher who is now 17 years old, drops out of high school and decides to travel by himself to Boise, Idaho. On March 29, 2022, he moves to get a job in the potato fields to help his parents with the essentials. Upon his arrival, he applies in several potato sheds but doesn’t get hired. Unable to get a job in the potato fields, he starts to work in landscaping instead. A recruiter interviews Christopher on June 23, 2022.
